WHY PENZU?

Penzu is a diary and personal journal that is focused on privacy. With a unique and compelling user experience, it makes writing online as easy and intuitive as writing on a pad of paper.


PRIVACY

Your journal and your thoughts aren’t always meant to be shared — some things are supposed to be private! Use Penzu to jot down whatever you want. Then lock your journal with a password (or even encryption) so no one can read it but you! Furthermore, you can lock the entire app with a PIN in the event that someone gets access to your mobile device.


PENZU

Unlike other journal apps, Penzu has a web-based counterpart. So you can access your journals and diary from any web browser and other devices. Penzu is constantly being updated and improved so that the writing experience is effortless and reliable.


SUBSCRIPTION INFO

This app is free to download but requires a free Penzu account in order to start writing.

Upgrading to Penzu Pro costs $4.99 per month or $19.99 per year. Your subscription will auto-renew unless you cancel manually.

What are users saying about Penzu

Q70%
by Q####:

Great app for journaling. I LOVE the idea of an internet journal, but security was a concern. Not with Penzu. I love that it syncs quickly and you can customize text, add long quotes and pictures. It is so much easier and calmer to type on a computer than keep a journal open and in a comfortable position. Penzu I give 5 stars, but the app loses a star for two things that aren't there. 1) timestamp. This is a big one for me. You can add a timestamp on the computer so I can say, write at 8am and say so. Then write again at 4pm and add an afternoon paragraph to the same entry. This is not available on the app. 2) you can't start writing with a prompt in the app.

It's awesome. The app is easy enough to use. And the bonus of being able to lock my writings is even better. However to pay to have more than one journal is something that personally bothers me. But 4 stars still

Q70%
by Q####:

It would be nice if I could rotate my photos after inserting them. They always come in sideways. Also subtracting a star for all the times I've lost an entry because it only seems to save when I back out of an entry. Wrote for half an hour once, accidentally tapped something that popped up a window asking if I wanted to upgrade to pro, I said no, it had me re-enter my code and when it went back to my entry, most of it was gone. Not cool.

K70%
by K####:

Please make it user friendly and have more features. I cannot even select a number of entries to share/delete. Too simplistic and cant do much either. Dunno why i hv hundreds of empty entries repetitively and now pissed off coz i have to select one by one to delete. So annoying

It wasn't using penzu for a while, came back, note can't login (renew your account), can't sign up (your email was used before), and there is no button renew your account

Hi, there are errors with syncing and over the past days there is an "Unclaimed Entries" journal created among my other journals... Please assist to fix this thanks!

My Husband and i love having this to share. Sometimes it's hard to say things when you worry about hurting each other's feelings. Plus he travels a lot so this is a great communication tool.

J70%
by J####:

It has nice features but the subscription is not great and the interface is very old looking. It doesn't follow any of the design rules of the last few years (this still look like gingerbread stuff).

Q70%
by Q####:

The best simple journaling app I have used, secure and simple, just what I want. The only thing I would add is auto spell check.

I have penzu on my note book and on my cell . When I have something to jot down that suddenly popped into thought, penzu is THERE. I love it

I like using the problem. It would be great to change fonts while making an entry from the phone.

Q70%

Penzu is ay-may-zing. I'm SO happy they updated the app, because now you can use the mobile app on your phone for FREE. No more charge. I got "penzu plus" so I can make unlimited journals (dedicated to different topics) and keep everything organized. I have a Penzu journal for Science, a Penzu journal for Finance. A Penzu journal for my private life and a Penzu Journal for Goals. It's so much easier to keep track of everything now. I LOVE PENZU.

Q70%

I only wish there were more design options for people who don't use pro (Like Me)! Other than that I really love it. It's very organized and I love that it keeps track of the date as well!!

Pass code keeps failing on app which makes it very frustrating to use whilst wanting to keep private.

L70%
by L####:

I love it no ads although the syncing circle comes up when I'm about to click on the diary entry I want to edit and when it has the Syncing circle it takes up to 5 minutes for it to load but other than that it's COOL

Q70%
by Q####:

I love being able to write in my journals whenever I want too. No more carrying an actual journal on me that can be lost or damaged. So easy to use and journals can be locked to keep private.
